Installation Instructions

- Remove the worn or damaged connector from the hose assembly.
- Press one end of the AXV092 firmly into each female hose cuff until fully seated.
- Check that the hoses lock securely and the connector does not wiggle loose.

Troubleshooting
- Poor suction or cleaner not moving: Check all hose connections for air leaks and ensure the connector is fully inserted.
- Hose detaches during use: Inspect hose cuffs for wear or deformation and verify a snug fit.
